Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Spring Valley, CA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Spring Valley, CA, online, by the ton or the yard. California Rock Supply drops bulk loads at your driveway, pad or paver job. Start with Class 2 base, the California standard for the compacted layer under flatwork.

Local ground runs from sandy loam to expansive clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry. That clay punishes a thin base under a patio.

Ground and Conditions in Spring Valley

Expansive clay is the failure mode here. A paver patio or slab poured over too little base moves as the clay takes on winter water, then drops back as it dries. Cracks open, pavers rock, edges sink.

The fix is base thickness and drainage, not a thicker paver. Excavate deep enough for a compacted Class 2 base and a bedding layer, then compact in lifts. Water has to leave the subgrade.

Rain arrives in a few winter storms and atmospheric rivers after a long dry season. It runs off hard ground and clay fast. Hillside runoff and slope failures show up in those storms, so drain outlets need clean stone, not fines.

The long, warm, dry season suits base and paver work most of the year. Winter storm days interrupt it. Frost does not drive base depth in Spring Valley.

Materials for Spring Valley Projects

Bedding is the layer that sets paver and flatwork quality, so build it in order: subgrade, Class 2 base, bedding, surface. Class 2 base, also called class ii base or class 2 aggregate base, is the Caltrans-specified material for driveways, parking pads and the compacted base under pavers, slabs and Stone Screenings paths.

Recycled base rock, or recycled class 2 base, is made from Road Base or asphalt and works the same way under drives, patios and slabs. Some suppliers here call the recycled material crushed miscellaneous base, or CMB.

Above the base, pick bedding and surface by finish. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers. Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints. Stone Screenings, or DG, packs firm for paths and patios over a compacted base.

For drainage, 3/4" Drain Rock has no fines, so water moves through it in French drains and behind retaining walls. Round out surfacing with Driveway Gravel or a finer Walkway Gravel for garden paths.
